Hot Milk Cakes with Strawberries and Cream Reviews

Hot milk cake is an easy, old-fashioned dessert that has simple, modern appeal. The moist, delicate cake gets its name from the hot milk that is added to the batter just before baking. In this recipe, the individual cakes are split, then topped with berries and whipped cream.

Great little cakes.
I made them in a hot
air balloon mold,
which always makes
cakes fun! I also
ended up having to
use some whole wheat
flour because I ran
out of all-purpose,
but it worked out
just fine. I might
have added some
orange extract or
cardamom for some
extra spice, but
that's just me. Very
delicious!

Wow, what a delicious, light dessert. The cake itself isn't very heavily flavored which I liked; it meshed nicely with the strawberries and let the subtle spicing really shine through.
Changes: I used just two large eggs instead of extra large, and it seemed to turn out fine. Self rising flower was subbed for 1.5tsp of baking powder. I also sauteed the strawberries lightly with some cinnamon and orange peel, which pushed it over the top.

Very simple and delicious. Cakes come out very moist.I used a large muffin pan and filled about 9 cups with the batter. Didn't have self rising flour so I added 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt to the flour and mixed that together first. Will try the almond extract and amaretto next time like other reviewers - that sounds wonderful.
